It turns out that a Japanese pitcher for the Indians, years ago, participated in a Gay Japanese porno. So if you watch Late Night TV shows. You've got six months to God knows when of Homophobic, Jingoistic and Sex obsessed media driven jokes coming:(
I hate the fucking media.

No team in Japan would give him a fair chance because of the video. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1720362 |

| 8. Your spare change tops the Indians payroll |

You might as well stick with the Reds. Since the Indians were sold several years ago, they have downsized everything. All the well paid good players are gone and we are back to "rebuilding".

"I did participate in a video and I regret it very much," he said. "It was a one-time incident that showed bad judgment and will never be repeated. I was young, playing baseball, and going to college and my teammates and I needed money.
"Frankly, if I were more mature and had really thought about the implications of what I did, it never would have happened."
Through an interpreter, Tadano added: "I'm not gay. I'd like to clear that fact up right now."
Thank God he isn't actually gay.
